    You're a jaded one aren't you, Kirun? Not to mention I don't think you actually understand the specifics of the case. Back/joint pain? I wish that's all it was. We all have pain as we age, but I have been in amazing physical condition my entire life. In the old real life picture thread I...

    There hasn't been anything said here that any injury attorney would charge for. I could easily get a free hour or more of face time explaining my case to a dozen attorneys here where I live. Like I said, I'm not looking for real advice. It's really just banter.

    That's very true, but railroad defense attorneys are very savvy at knowing what level of trial experience your own attorney has and their negotiations reflect that. Since my attorney refuses to answer questions concerning his experience I can only assume he hasn't tried many cases or if he...

    Araysar is correct, it's either or. Look, I'm not going to cry about how my injuries have affected my life, but I'm young and my injuries were/are serious. I am not looking for the moon, but I do want what I feel is reasonable compensation for worsening my life, permanently. I no longer...

    A lot of suits come from people hurt at crossings. And I am not sure what railroads you are referring to (maybe passenger?), but Class I freight companies are extremely healthy and making more money than they ever have with even more growth forecasted.

    FELA damages are nothing like workman's comp. A very large portion of permanent disability cases (although I am not completely disabled, just unable to perform the scope of my previous duties) is lost wages. Under FELA you're entitled to everything you would have made during your career + past...

    There was an oil leak on the locomotive (very close to strict liability) that I wasn't aware of. When I went to dismount, I fell roughly 7 feet. The company security cameras caught the fall on tape. I didn't know it until I saw the tape, but the fall knocked me out for over a minute. Like...

    I'm not looking for legal advice (although any actual real advice will be considered). I just need to bitch to someone besides my wife. I'm a railroad conductor who was seriously hurt on the job last year. I ruptured multiple discs in my lower back and neck. I am having a spinal fusion to...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    I played this game with a buddy a few months before its release. We made it to a major boss battle where there were like 4 bosses in the same room (not the shrine area where the bosses are spawned). I remember there being a big fire like elemental and an acid like elemental. We killed them...

    Best PC FPS games of the last few years

    I don't understand the hate for Max Payne 3. Over the last few years there have been very few games I liked enough to finish. MP3 was one of them. It may have something to do with Man on Fire being my favorite movie of all time.

    Jund is one of the decks I play in Modern and despite not having DRS it's still a great deck. You're just not going to get any free wins like you could before. Turn 2 Liliana was great, but the real loss of DRS is not being able to cast 2 spells a turn in the early game. Affinity is a...

    I've been silently grinding away. When the SCG Players Championship points update on Thursday I should be in 40 something place. It seems like a long way from getting there, but if I have a decent finish at the Invitational (or one of the Opens) at the end of the month it'll at least put me in...

    I redeemed myself a little bit today (after punting in the T8 of the Super IQ last week) and won an IQ here in town. This win puts me in the top 100 of the Player Championship points race (once the points update).

    Answer the question above you, no matter what it is

    Yep (once). My first year in the Navy. I was stationed in Coronado, CA. We spent a lot of time in TJ and hookers were everywhere. It wasn't a memorable experience, thankfully it was cheap. Biggest lie you've told on a resume/application?

    5th. Punted hard that cost me the match. Situation - it's my turn, opponent has two pack rats in play and 1 untapped land (Mutavault). I have two Pharika's cures in hand a 4 black mana available. I cast one cure targeting a rat (hoping he may forget the Mutavault pump. Multiple packrats...

    I'm purely a competitive player (so whatever the tournament calls for). I can't remember the last time I played a game of Magic that wasn't in a tournament or play testing for one.

    Picked up a set of Stoneforge Mystics a few days ago for $40. What a steal. The card has more than doubled in the last 10 days and I don't think it has topped out.

    I'm 6' 215. I have 50" shoulders and a 32" waist. Finding shirts that fit my shoulders/chest without looking like a tent from my nipples down is not easy. That said, My shirt does look a little small doesn't it? It was probably the angle and the way I was sitting. If not, fuck it. I'll...

    And to answer the rest of your question Big W. The only deck that I can think of that is similar to one you'd like to play is something like the following. Personally, I want to try it, but I am not convinced it's tier 1, yet. Creatures (4) 4 Chandra's Phoenix Planeswalkers (2) 2...

    Competitive Standard deck - $150-$450 with the need to update the deck every 3 months. Competitive Legacy deck - $500-$3500. Cards for existing decks rarely change. The lower end are decks like Burn, Dredge, etc. While they are viable decks, their viability is very meta dependent...

    Back from Vegas. Terrible performance. Literally, the worst ever for me. My deck choice was terrible in standard. It didn't help that I meta'gamed the main deck hard for control match-ups that I never saw. Deck was bad, lines were bad, play was bad. It was one of those weekends that...

    Ya, the Merfolk guy was very sketchy. He kept me off-balance our entire match because I was trying to focus on my game while trying to make sure he wasn't cheating me. And in the True-Name situation, he did get away with it. My Plague was 3/4 of the way under Liliana and I forgot it was in...

    I was the guy in the Oklahoma sweatshirt. I went in to the Top 8 as the #1 seed if that helps you remember me. I wish I hadn't been so focused on Magic and remembered you were going to be there so we had time to chat and play. I played n the Standard IQ in Leeds, Alabama today and top 8'd...
